FutureSoror Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist for me! I'm going to their Retreat in October and I'll ask for my entrance papers then, so I can enter at the end of next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_rev Posted July 12, 2005 Author Share Posted July 12, 2005 Thy Kingdom Come! Feast of St. Benedict, Founder of Western Monasticism It is great to read that God is still calling many people to the consecrated life (not the religious life, I feel everyone is called to live a reliigous life, so I refer to the sisters, brothers, deacons, etc. as consecrated.) When I pray for vocations I pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood and the consecrated life and for perseverence for those who are pursuing a vocation. Please pray holy priests future sisters of PM. As even Jesus said back in 33 AD stands true today, "The harvest is great and yet laborers are few, so then pray to the Father in Heaven for more laborers to tend to the harvest" [i]Yours in Christ,[/i] Eddie Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holyspirit1985 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Carmelite Sisters of the Most Sacred Heart of Los Angeles mostly. But pretty much I want to be a Carmelite whether through this order, another order, or as a laywoman. And as of today I've started looking into the Daughters of St. Joseph. About the Dominicans SMME, I think I'm still going to go visit them to see an order that's not Carmelite. I think it'll be good for me. I know 2 people through livejournal that are entering this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

son_of_angels Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 holyspirit1985, There is a really great (so I hear) Carmelite convent in Nebraska, which is served by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. They are a very traditional, very cloistered convent. A friend of mine's sister is having her clothing there this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crusader03 Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Whoo! More people coming to SMME retreats! Yay! I'll be there (duh)... which reminds me, I need to write my vocation story soon... (as if it isn't already "written")!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSoror Posted July 17, 2005 Share Posted July 17, 2005 Ooo... Yes, I'll be watching for it online when they put all of you new postuants up on the site! Do you think they'll be able to fit them all in the newsletter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crusader03 Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Sr. Joseph Andrew is still pressing us all to send her our vocation stories. She says that if need be, she will make the type smaller to get all the stories in! But prepare for a PACKED newsletter between zillions of missions/camps this summer, final profession (!!!!!!!!!!!!), first profession, reception to the habit, and (God willing) a record number of postulants!!!!!!
